Detailed description of the invention
Fig. 1 schematically shows the system 10 of collecting for solar energy. System 10 comprises toolHave discoid surperficial 14 reflector 12, discoid surperficial 14 be arranged to reflection and along focal line meetingPoly-solar radiation is to form solar radiation bundle 16. System 10 also comprises the collection with shell body 20Device 18, shell body 20 has the hole 22 being arranged on wherein. Collector 18 comprises and is arranged on shell bodyAbsorber 24 in 20.
Solar radiation bundle 16 is arranged to hole 22 through collector 18 to absorber 24. InhaleReceive device 24 and be arranged to absorb solar radiation bundle 16, so that solar radiation is converted into such as heat energy justThe energy of profit, and heat medium, the fluid for example circulating by absorber. As shown in the figure, streamThe path that body forms via pipeline 26 and circulating by absorber 24.
Absorber 24 is arranged to rotate to contribute in absorber 24 equal around its longitudinal axisEven distribution of heat the heating of anti-stop. That is to say, on fixing absorber, directly receive incident lightThe part surface of bundle 16 is by the some temperature having far above the surperficial remainder of fixing absorber(spottemperature). This causes in part from the hotter outer surface of absorber to absorber outsideCollector radiation and increasing away from its heat in the expectation destination of absorber inside. It also causesThe reflectivity of this part of absorber increases, thereby reduces absorber inside by this two processesRequired absorbability, and therefore reduce the heat energy that can be used for being delivered to the fluid circulating by absorberAmount.
Imagination, alternatively or except around the rotation of its longitudinal axis or pivotable absorber 24, canWith along its longitudinal axis translation back and forth (translate) absorber 24. In fact, absorber 24 canWith mobile to contribute to that incident beam 16 is uniformly applied to absorber 24 in any suitable mannerSurface and/or homogeneous heating absorber 24. Imagination, maybe advantageously mobile absorber 24 withJust take substantially sinusoidal motion.
As previously mentioned, the solar radiation of incident is converted into heat energy by absorber 24, so that therefore heatingThe transmission fluid circulating by absorber 24. The movement of absorber 24 has reduced the table of absorber 24The point temperature of face is to increase the absorbability of absorber 24, and this can increase and can be heated to appointment againThe volume of the fluid of temperature and/or increase the temperature of this fluid. Heated fluid such as superheated steam canThen be used for using the conventional method such as steam turbine to produce electricity. Those skilled in the art shouldWork as understanding, can use system 10 to realize other application, such as heat rooms, swimming pool etc.
As shown in Figure 1, used convex lens from the solar radiation bundle 16 of discoid surperficial 14 reflections15 collimations, convex lens 15 are arranged on discoid surperficial 14 far-ends just away from discoid surperficial 14Focus place. As mentioned above, convex lens 15 can be have a plane surface and a nonreentrant surface flatFace convex lens, or it can have two nonreentrant surfaces, or it can be Fresnel lens. Luxuriant and rich with fragranceAlunite ear lens will have advantages of the solar radiative absorption reducing in lens 15 self, but it has meetingIntrafascicular some of poly-solar radiation are twisted instead of parallel shortcoming.
The solar radiation of reflection is collimated into light beam 16 by convex lens 15, and light beam 16 is directed to by receivingHole 22 in the shell body 20 of storage 18 is to incide on absorber 24.
It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that incident beam 16 can set up by alternate manner. ThisThe bright any ad hoc fashion being not limited to for setting up the incident beam being directed on absorber 24.
Different configurations can be taked in hole 22 in collector 18. For example, as shown in Figure 1A, hole22 can be formed as straight hole 22' or angled hole 22 ". If straight hole 22' is provided in collector 18,The incident beam that is only parallel to the endoporus of hole 22' can pass to incide on absorber 24. WhenUse angled boring 22 " time, the incident beam in the angular range of angled endoporus is by energyReach through hole 22 " to incide on absorber 24. When the solar radiation bundle of multiple incidents will be through hole22 o'clock, angled boring 22 " may be preferred.
Although the shape in hole 22 can change, the overall dimension in hole 22 should be controlled, to compareFrom through hole 22 and arrive absorber 24 one or more incident beams 16 energy amount andMinimize the amount of the energy that leaves collector 18 (, via reflection) loss. The increase of collector 18Efficiency realize by the amount that maximizes " holding back " heat energy in collector 18.
Another embodiment of collector 18 is shown in Figure 2. In this embodiment, collector 18Shell body 20 there is the additional holes 22B with respect to hole 22A, to allow other solar radiation bundle30 incide on absorber 24. It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that shell body 20 can have manyIndividual hole 22 is to receive the other solar radiation bundle of incident.

Method 56 also comprises: step 64, and it is converted into heat energy by absorber by solar radiation; Step66, it makes fluid be circulated and be heated with the heat energy being transformed like this by absorber; And step 68,It moves absorber and (, does not form temperature with the some temperature in the absorber surface of reduction light beam incident placeSpend high focus), and therefore increase the absorbability of absorber and increase thus solar radiation toThe transformation efficiency of heat energy.
Should be appreciated that according to described embodiments of the invention, the solar radiation bundle of convergence is ledTo with unhinderedly through aperture or hole in collector. This carries out with high accuracy, once andIn collector inside, radiation just can only be overflowed with very large difficulty. The effect producing is institute almostThere is the solar radiation of incident to be finally converted into the heat energy that can be used to add heat transfer fluids.
According to preferred embodiment, collector is cylindrical structural, and it has the inwall (example of high reflectionAs polished steel) and there is the middle absorbent device of dim facing, the facing of this dimness impels to be held backSolar radiation is preferentially absorbed device and absorbs. Absorber rotates simultaneously and swings, thereby produces sinusoidal fortuneMoving to contribute to the homogeneous heating of absorber. Absorber is taked the recessed cylindrical form in end,This cylinder surrounds completely and close contact has the cylindrical of high heat absorptivity and conductive materialBlock (for example copper billet body). Path for heat-transfer fluid extends through block. In one form,Path is set up by one or more pipelines can with helical configuration. Transmit fluid and be pumped through pipeRoad is to heat.
Absorber is arranged to move when block is fixing. In the time that absorber heats, absorberServe as radiator and heat radiation is arrived around it. This means except heat packs is containing fluid passageOutside material block, absorber is by the cylindrical structural to collector heat radiation.
Run into the inwall of the high reflection of collector from absorber to extraradial heat, then reflectionReturn absorber. This process repeats, and make in situation as much as possible, and notice will in systemAll the time have certain inefficient and loss, the incident radiation that enters collector via hole is finally inhaledReceipts device absorbs, and is then used for adding heat transfer fluids. This is arranged as solar energy incident beam and is converted intoThe heat energy that is used for eventually adding heat transfer fluids has been set up the efficiency of height.
Collector preferably insulate well in outside, is reflecting with any heat preventingIn journey, leave inwall, or the radiation being reflected back illy by hole or hole is outside from collectorOverflow. Object is in order to trap any radiation or heat, to allow this radiation or heat to serve asCushion is to prevent the inside of more heat effusion collector 20.
In collector, preferably adopt the screen cloth that has perforation. In one form, screen cloth is included in twoSide has the recessed cylindrical member in end on press polished surface. The perforated design Cheng Yun of screen clothThe solar radiation bundle of being permitted the convergence of incident is directly sent on absorber. What reflect from absorber is remarkableThe incident radiation of amount and the radiation of being sent by absorber by screen cloth be directly reflected back absorber or by fromAbsorber is returned in the other reflection indirect reference of the inner surface of screen cloth. Pass the spoke of the perforation of screen clothPenetrate part and run into the inwall of collector and be reflected in collector, until it is randomly by perforationReturn finally run into absorber and be absorbed. This system can not be perfectly, for example some energyAmount is lost and is transformed into and can slowly loses by the tape insulation outer wall of collector in reflection processHeat. Therefore, the solar energy major part that enters collector is finally absorbed, and fraction withAlternate manner scatters and disappears.
Absorber has irregular surface (for example, corrugated surface), this surface stop be reflected and not byAny incident radiation absorbing is reflected back along the path identical with its entrance, incident in this caseRadiation can be left and be lost in atmosphere via its identical entrance. Object is any in order to preventThe energy of reflection leaves collector via aperture or hole identical when entering collector.
In alternative arrangement, collector can comprise inner and outer wall, and between has for connecingReceive the space of the stream that transmits fluid. Transmitting fluid is pumped through this space and is moving through this skyBetween time heated. Inwall will have dim and absorbefacient inner surface, and outer wall will be by wellInsulation is to prevent that heat is from this space loss.
In another alternative, container can comprise having and is limited to transmission wherein fluid passageWall. This passage can be formed by the conduit extending in wall of a container or pipe.
Advance by any layout of the space in chamber wall or (multiple) passage according to transmitting fluid, holdOne or more holes in device are configured to and described space or (multiple) channel separation.
A kind of inventor preferred solar-energy collecting method is to use the inner surface with high reflectionTwo relative three dimensional parabolic line structures, one is large, and one is little. The configuration of these structures makes to put downThe solar radiation of row is being drawn towards focus after the internal surface reflection of structure. Main paraboloidal reflectorCollect solar radiation at its focus place greatly and along its focal line, afterwards, radiation disperses to run into againThe little inferior paraboloidal reflector in the focus distally of main paraboloidal reflector. Main reflector and secondary reflectionDevice shares public focal line (but in the opposite direction) and public focus. Final result is parallel convergence spokePenetrate and transmit to exist by the hole main paraboloidal reflector from inferior paraboloidal reflector along public focal lineIts limit (pole) is located to leave. If need the radiation of higher convergence, system can copy itSelf realizes this purpose. Level crossing then by the beam direction of assembling to the hole in collectorMouthful. If radiation convergence is high, may owning in the radiation of the such high concentration of receptionAfter the reflecting surface of reflector, adopt cooling system.
Such concentrator is arranged and can be located to be had high by half at its collection surface place and limit (having hole)The plate glass of transparency or there is the dull and stereotyped synthetic material " blockade " of high translucence, " close to formEnvelope unit ". This can have in the time safeguarding such concentrator guarantees that its reflecting surface is clean and keepsThe major advantage of highly reflective.
As modification, replace in the sealing of the limit place of main paraboloidal reflector, " sealing unit " canAt distal seal, for example, through the first guide surface mirror or at follow-up guidance mirrors far-end.
